Forging and shaping metal and powder metallurgy
What this code covers
Use this class for forging and shaping metal and powder metallurgy when the main activity includes Forging, pressing, stamping and roll-forming of metal and Production of metal objects directly from metal powders by heat treatment (sintering) or under pressure, i.e. powder metallurgy. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Official NACE Rev. 2.1 labels and explanatory notes are imported from the source dataset. Plain-language explanations are shown separately so readers can compare interpretation with the source text.
No child codes; this is a class-level code.
- This class includes general activities for the forming of metal.
- forging, pressing, stamping and roll-forming of metal
- production of metal objects directly from metal powders by heat treatment (sintering) or under pressure, i.e. powder metallurgy
- subsequent trimming or descaling of the metal, without any further processing
- production of metal powder, see 24.10, 24.4
- Compare with 24.10, 24.4, 25.4 when the main activity overlaps another code.
- Review the Rev. 2 to Rev. 2.1 mapping type before migrating old records.
- Check national equivalent caveats before using this code for local registration or filing workflows.
- If the main revenue activity appears in an exclusion, compare the alternative code before deciding.

What is NACE 25.40 used for?
Use NACE 25.40 for forging and shaping metal and powder metallurgy when the main activity matches this scope: Use this class for forging and shaping metal and powder metallurgy when the main activity includes Forging, pressing, stamping and roll-forming of metal and Production of metal objects directly from metal powders by heat treatment (sintering) or under pressure, i.e. powder metallurgy. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
What are typical examples for 25.40?
Typical examples include Forging, pressing, stamping and roll-forming of metal, Production of metal objects directly from metal powders by heat treatment (sintering) or under pressure, i.e. powder metallurgy, and Subsequent trimming or descaling of the metal, without any further processing.
When might 25.40 not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to production of metal powder, see 24.10, 24.4.
Which codes should I compare before choosing 25.40?
Compare 25.40 with 24.10 Manufacture of basic iron and steel and of ferro-alloys, 24.4 Manufacture of basic precious and other non-ferrous metals, and 25.4 Forging and shaping metal and powder metallurgy when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this class for manufacture of basic iron and steel and of ferro-alloys when the main activity includes Operation of blast furnaces, steel converters, rolling and finishing mills and Production of pig iron and spiegeleisen in pigs, blocks or other primary forms. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this group for the broader activity area of manufacture of basic precious and other non-ferrous metals, including Precious metals production, Aluminium production, and Lead, zinc and tin production. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.

Rev. 2 code 25.50 maps to 25.40 Forging and shaping metal and powder metallurgy, but the relationship is scope-aligned rather than a simple unchanged code.
Official close match imported from NACE Rev. 2.1.
Datasets, CRM segments, KYC rules, reporting logic, and historical joins may need review because the activity scope is not a simple unchanged carry-over.
Review the official explanatory notes for each target code and confirm whether the business activity still fits the suggested Rev. 2.1 class.
